THE SPACE EXPLORERS

It's 1958. The space age has begun! And firing up the
imagination of millions of would-be astronauts, The
Space Explorers and The New Adventures
of the Space Explorers hit the airwaves.

Produced under the technical direction of Dr. Franklyn M. Branley,
Associate Astronomer of the American Museum-Hayden Planetarium, and
filmed with the cooperation of the National Aeronautics and Space
administration and the U.S. Air Force, Space Explorers was an
instant success. Fascinating, exciting - and educational - the
cliff hanger series helped spur thousands of children (now adults) into a career of science and exploration.

Created in 1957, The Space Explorers follows an
astronaut's young son as he stows away on a rescue mission to the
moon and Mars.

The Space Explorers is described as "A beloved,
memorable and long neglected SCI-FI infotainment that inspired the
baby boomer generation" by Cartoon Research.com.
